Elizabeth Hoover is a writer who enjoys working on projects that have a conceptual or research element. Her current project, Some Poems About Pictures, offers art as a space for resistance to and transformation of dominant gender narratives. This hybrid text uses diverse sources including pop culture, art history, and aesthetic theory to explore issues related to sexual violence. A portion of that project was awarded StoryQuarterly’s essay prize, judged by Maggie Nelson. She is also the recipient of the 2015 Difficult Fruit Prize from I﻿thacaLit.﻿
